The Van (Barrytown Trilogy)

slamman

One of the greatest irish comedys of all time. Written by Roddy Doyle, starring Colm Meany .I had been searching for this film on DVD for a long time now and thought it was a lost cause however I have recently found it at www.amazon.fr because apparantly France is the only country that has put this classic on DVD .So I just thought I'd let you know where to find it as it truley is unmissible http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00005NVB7/sr=1-8/qid=1155238198/ref=sr_1_8/403-8230951-4600460?ie=UTF8&s=dvd

It took me a long time to find the van on DVD .However There is another Irish classic that I cannot find on DVD its called "I went down" and Brendan Gleeson stars in it .If anybody knows if or where its available I would be very gratefull if you could let me know.

Probably a silly one, but is it in english?
Can't bear the idea of CM saying "ahh sh1te" and "ye little bollix" in french

I Went Down is a great film... but I've never been a fan of any of the Roddy Doyle films... Oh working class people in Dublin say things like "Ah f*ck, jaysus!" It all wears a bit too thin very fast.


Ashamedly I did get talent spotted and called to an audition for the Van... bleh...

You can have either English or French Audio .However with the English audio there are French subtitles . But its a small price to pay for this classic
